Is there a list of how many TPUs each resort and week you can get??? Lets say a Grandview, 2 bedroom, in March.

I gave the Grandview as an example because I have stayed there on Extra Vacations when I visit my sister in Vegas.

Right now I have no RCI traders. I sold, or gave away, all of them three years ago when my husband died. I thought I should sell everything and I did. I figured, erroneously, that I would never travel again.

I have had a couple of matches for the week of Feb 21, one at Old Key West and this morning at Animal Kingdom. The TPUs were 40 for a one bedroom. I thought that was extremely high, actually.

I've thrown them back - I'm only doing research for my son's trip in early 2015.

Yea , I got a match at Animal Kingdom (1 BR) for Feb 22. Boo, it was 40 TPU's. Yea, I took it (flights are already booked) . Boo, it was 40 TPU's.

Why are they so high for those 2 weeks in Feb?

I just got a confirmation into a 2BR at BLT the first week of March. It was 46 TPU. A couple weeks ago, I got the same week for 28 TPU. (I'm keeping both of them, and might even pick up a third if I get a chance. Friends are joining us!)

Quite a discrepancy for getting them two weeks apart. I've always thought about trying to get an Animal Kingdom with Savannah view for me & the DW. 46 TPU's is doable, but I'd sure rather pay 28 TPU's. Is the 46 unusually high?

Well we stayed at OKW for 3 weeks Sept. 2012 ,2 BR TPUs were 45.
Went back and stayed at OKW, SSR, & BWV for a month ,June-July 2013, all 2 BRs, TPUs were 29 for 1st 2 weeks & TPUs were 35 for our last 2 weeks
Really crazy how the TPUs fluctuate.
Considering Sept. is slower season and we forked out more TPUs for Sept. than June/July, it really doesn't have any rhyme or reason.:shrug:

It has varied quite a bit over the years. I've seen (and got) 2BR units for under 25 TPU (mostly in the beginning) and have even seen last minute exchanges as low as 10. Then it rose several times. Recently, we've seen some big drops in TPU requirements. Then a couple weeks ago, a big spike.

As long as the demand is there (and it is -- bulk deposits are usually entirely gone within hours!), I would expect it to continue to rise. The drops have been surprising to me.

Right now is the highest I've seen.
